it is violated, for instance, when government officials hose down civil rights protesters on the sidewalk. that right is trivialized and mischaracterized as protecting shopping and watching movies. and those constitutional rights are not a source of government power to enact legislation as i think the president has suggested. quite the opposite. they are designed solely to preserve individual autonomy as against the government. protecting individual rights rather than expanding governmental power may be particularly appropriate in addressing mass killings. one of the threen so many people died in some of the tragedies that the president cited was the failure of government, the federal government, the state government or the local government but government generally to protect its citizens. police not on the scene cannot arrive at a mass shooting, such as newtown, in time to stop it. at columbine, the police employed techniques that are no longer used because they did not stop killings that occurred after their arrival. at virginia tech, government officials made decisions after the shooti

virginia republicans waited until this one particular democratic senator, a noted civil rights lawyer named henry marsh, they waited until senator marsh left town on monday for the day to go to the inauguration of president obama. virginia republicans had to wait until he was gone because the state senate is equally divided in virginia, 20 republicans and 20 democrats. but with henry marsh gone for the day, it's no longer an even divide, right? it's 20-19. with that advantage, republicans decided to spring on the senate and spring on the entire state a whole new set of redmaps. a whole new set of gerrymandered maps for the state, drafted to put republicans in charge in virginia effectively permanently. because they did it when henry marsh was away, republicans succeeded in this plan by one vote in their stealth attack to change the maps. that one vote was the missing vote of the senator who had gone to the inauguration. that's how they started the week. now virginia republicans are moving on to the next part of it. they're moving on to the electoral college scheme part of it, using th
